But I think now it is time to get into some questions.

We've got some good ones.

All right, Iris writes in. "I've been saved for three years now.

My husband has not been open to Christianity yet.

He prays to other gods like St. Michael, Buddha,

and nino Jesus.

My husband gets offended when I talk about him

about praying to them.

What can I do?"

Oh you know, the Bible says without a word,

a godly woman can lead her husband to faith

by not saying anything, just the way she lives.

And I think that's the answer.

Live your life with the Lord.

Show the radiant joy of the Lord in your life.

And hopefully your husband will get free of the delusion

that he's engaged in.

But he'll begin to say, how come you

are so happy in the midst of the troubles we're having?

You say, well, it's because I have Jesus.

That's what you do, OK.

Danielle says, "Dear Pat, I was wondering

if it's good to ask Jesus to be your Lord

and Savior every time I pray-- even though I accepted Him

already.

I love Him and appreciate everything

He did for me and many others from around the world

by dying on the cross.

I am saved."

The question is, you get married

and would you like to get married because you

love your wife.

And then she's good to you and see

[INAUDIBLE] get married again.

And then you have a nice meal and you

want to get married again.

You have a pleasant evening, you want to get married again.

You're married.

So stay married.

Be happy at it and get on with your life.

I think it's the same thing with the Lord.

You don't keep getting saved.

You've given your heart to the Lord.

He is yours, you are His, and you're born again.

So enter into that relationship.

Amen.

Well it might be fun to put that wedding dress on again.

Well just make sure it fits.

Josh writes in, I'm a reborn Christian.

I gave my life to Christ back in February.

And since then, I have felt convicted to drop habits

and cut away from a sinful nature.

I have stopped all habits.

I used to smoke, and then I moved to a vapor containing

nicotine to get off tobacco.

Am I sinning every time I use a vapor?

Will I be punished if I continue to use nicotine?

God doesn't sit up in heaven waiting to punish people

because you smoke a cigarette or you

look at a pornographic magazine or something.

God is God, and he loves you, and he wants

you to be part of his life.

And he wants to share his life with you.

And what you have done is clean you're act up and you say,

I want to present myself wholly to the Lord.

So you've got a vapor machine.

You know, the Bible says whatever is not a faith is sin.

So if you feel it's wrong, then it's wrong.

If you don't feel it's wrong, it's not wrong.

I mean, it's one of those things.

But you're not going to lose heaven

because you've got a vapor machine in lieu of cigarettes.

It just, it doesn't work that way.

God loves you and he wants you to be part of his kingdom.

At least he's trying to get off nicotine.

Yeah, well you're working at it.

But I mean, that's not the key.

The key is, you love him.

You love him.

John, Peter, do you love me?

Yes Lord, I love you.

That's what He wants is our love.

Love covers a multitude of sins.

You got it.

Michelle says, my parents don't let

me watch anything that they consider of this world.

Sometimes I sneak and watch a show that I really like.

I don't think anything is wrong with the show,

but it is wrong to-- is it wrong to disobey my parents?

I think this rule is a bit over the top.

Look, I think it's a little over the top too,

but the best thing to do is to obey your parents.

You know the problem is, in the ancient Talmudic tradition,

they said all right, here is the law.

Now somebody might break the law,

so let's build a fence around the law here.

So they'll have to break the fence before they get in

to break the law.

Then we'll build another fence around the fence,

and before long, there's so many rules and regulations.

And then the next thing you know,

somebody breaks one of these, they

think they've sinned against God and they've

lost their access to the Lord.

That's what this terrible legalism will do.

It's love.

Love isn't a series of rules.

It's a love affair with God.

It's just like with Mary, just a love affair that is involved,

not a set of regulations.

And people need to understand it.

Apparently the churches are teaching regulations.

God isn't interested in regulations.

He's interested in you and He together as one.

OK.

Guess what?

That was it.

What happened to the time?

Well you did so great that we're

going to stop right here while you're ahead.

Seriously.

Well it's nice to be with you, and thank you again

for all of you being with us.

We leave you with "Today's Power Minute" from Psalm 91.

"I will be with him in trouble.

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation."
